How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost?
When you meet someone for the very first time, they often form their opinion of you based on your smile. If you have cosmetic dental concerns, you may not smile at all. This can give people the wrong impression of you.
Cosmetic dentistry procedures address these concerns. One of the most popular options for resolving discoloration, small cracks/chips, small gaps, and other aesthetic issues involving the upper front 6 to 8 teeth are veneers.
Dental veneers are thin porcelain or composite resin shells that are cemented to teeth to improve their appearance. This treatment does not address functional issues. In this article, we’ll explain what you need to know about the cost of dental veneers at Gary R. Login, DMD Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry in Brookline.
What Is the Average Cost of Dental Veneers
The cost of dental veneers ranges from around $400 to $2,500 per tooth. Since each tooth is treated separately, you have the option of treating only the affected teeth.
What Factors Determine the Cost of Dental Veneers?
Type of veneer:
Dental veneers can be made of composite resin or porcelain. Composite resin is less expensive, but not as durable as porcelain- which means it may wear out quicker. Porcelain is more expensive but does usually last for up to 20 years or more. On the other hand, porcelain is more likely to be damaged and need to be replaced. If composite resin is damaged, it can usually be repaired.
Number of teeth:
since the cost is per tooth, the overall cost of treatment depends on whether you are getting one tooth or several.
Experience/expertise of the dentist:
the more experience and expertise a dentist has, the higher their fees are likely to be. However, while you may save money going to an inexperienced dentist, you may end up paying more if they don’t know what they are doing.
Location of the dental clinic:
the cost of living in the area where the clinic is located can impact the cost of treatment. A clinic in a larger metropolitan area will likely have higher fees than one located in a more rural area.
Dental veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment, which means that most dental insurance providers will not cover treatment. Still, our office staff will work with your dental provider to determine coverage.
Are veneers worth it?
Dental veneers can be expensive, especially if you choose porcelain. The decision about whether or not they are worth it is a very personal one. However, this treatment can resolve several cosmetic dental concerns, which can boost your confidence, including:
- Chipped/cracked teeth
- Significant discoloration that does not resolve with whitening
- Small gaps between teeth
- Pointed/unusually shaped teeth
- Smaller than average teeth
How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost
